Hey, i just made a iso using the hd2iso.exe and it worked fine, at least no
errors in the process, however after burning the iso to a cdr i get
followeing error when booting:

Boot from ATAPI cd rom:
1 HD System-Type(-0C)

Then it halts.

Any idea

No idea until you give us exact description of steps you made.

BTW: hd2iso must be used on first HDD partition that was bootable with XPe
on it prepared per El-torito doc.

But first read as much as you can from following threads.

Thanks, i will look at the google link and see if theres a solution.

btw, when you say : "first HDD partition"

i have one disk in my system, but three partitions.

1. primary. (my c drive)
2. extended. (my temp drive)
3. primary. 700mb. where i store the xpe image and thats the source for the
iso.

So this is wrong ?

thanks

So this is wrong ?

My thoughts exactly. I lost one day trying to figure this problem out. This
should work but problem is in hd2iso utility that become confused with such
disk configuration :(

My workaround was to use virtual disk created in sdi file of 700 MB size.
And then I have created partition of size I wanted.
Then you can copy files from partition 3 to partition on virtual disk.
and then you can use hd2iso from virtual disk.

don't forget to make pre FBA el-torito disk from this virtual drive also.

Slobodan
